Beau died Monday, October 20th. I miss him so much. The void is terrible. Our family room just doesn't look right anymore. The place where his bed was kept for approximately 12 years looks so strange now. I find myself looking at the back french door, hoping to see his face pressed up against it with that look of pure anticipation and joy that soon the door will open and he'll be back in where he can feel comfortable again.
I know he was "getting up there" in doggie years (we believe he was 91 human years old), but I guess in the back of my mind I was hoping he would live forever. How dumb is that? He brought me a lot of joy. He was a great dog and I will miss my friend.

I'm so sorry.
My doggies both passed away two years ago. I miss them still.
They really do just become part of the family.
Beau the wonder dog will be missed.
I will miss him too! I know you don't beleive it, but It is sad! Aaron said we know of a dog who is really naughty, and if he doesn't cool it, he will be looking for a new home, so if you want him.....his name is Jenks and I'm getting fed up!! The offer's out there! HA
I was sad to hear about your baby! I still picture you walking him around our neighborhood. I hope you find some comfort soon. And I don't mean Melissa's kind of comfort, unless you are up to it. Hehe!
I'm sorry, rest in peace Beau.
Oh Aunt Lori...I am sorry to hear about Beau! Hope you are doing ok!
It's amazing how much an animal can take such a big place in your heart. I remember taking a giant step over the threshold to our door where Butch would always sleep. I did that for several months after he died just out of habit. At least you gave him a wonderful home and life.
Lori,
I just read this and my heart breaks for you. We have never had a dog since being married 29 years ago until just four years ago. Our little Sam has found his way into our hearts and is so much a part of our family I can't even imagine him not being there! I'll keep you in my heart!
Oh, I am so sorry Aunt Lori. Heartbreaking for sure. Is a replacement in the works?
oh no. that's is soooo hard. i feel for you, girl. i'm not even a dog person [even though i married into one] and i just can't even imagine! i'm sending happy vibes your way!
So sorry about Beau. How sad it is when a pet dies. I know I'll feel that way too when ours goes. It's funny how they build their own little place in our hearts, huh?
Aunt Lori, I could see you going for a mini-rex rabbit or a tortoise in the back yard now. What do you think?
No, I don't have any bunnies but for some reason I can just see you having one.
I forgot about Brents box turtle. That is a good little pet.
If you had the rabbit you would have the turtle and the hare.
my gosh!
that is so sad, Lori.
i am so sorry to hear about that.
